Ayeeeee! So many reasons to celebrate— It’s graduation season, time to pop the champagne. The June issue of #essence magazine —pop that champagne. Stacey Abrams makes history, pop that ! Speaking of popping champagne though, while the the phrase is popular and general it’s important to know the differences between champagne and other sparkling wines. Here we go. (This will be short and sweet) ————— All champagne is sparkling wine but not all sparkling wine is Champagne. To be considered the wine HAS to come from the Champagne region of France. It’s a labor intensive process that def deserves its respect, hence the high price tag. —————— Prosecco is sparkling wine from Italy. It’s a light body, fruity sparkler that’s made in a different method than Champagne hence the style difference. Super affordable option. ——— Cava is sparking wine made in Spain. Cava is a bit heavier and less sweet than prosecco in a lot of instances. Cava is similar to Champagne in many ways but not as pricey. ———————
If you’re looking for a French sparkler made in the same style as Champagne then Cremant is the wine for you. Cremants are made in specific region in France in the same method as Champagne however, you can get a great one for much cheaper. ————— Lastly remember that bubbles are not just for celebrating. They are great for refreshing your palate, pairing with greasy food, or just sip sip sippin . @thehuesociety •
